Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
• Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting as desired.
